LOOKING for: Chocolate Decorating Frosting

LindaMarch 3, 2005

I am making a giant Teddy Bear cake for my daughter's baby shower this weekend. I have a great (good tasting, and right consistency to work with) recipe for regular white frosting, but I want most of the bear to be chocolate. Does anyone have a delicious chocolate icing recipe that will be the right consistency for doing star tips??

Well, I ran out of time ( I was making another cake, most of the food and all the decorations, too) so I just used the canned chocolate frosting for the cake. It tasted fine and worked great. Here are pictures of the cakes and my daughters (and me). Thanks for asking!

I didn't see your question until too late, but in the past I have made regular white decorator frosting and added cocoa powder to make it brown. Sometimes I will also add some brown coloring paste to make it a deeper color.
